New assignments are available in Moodle! Vocabulary should be a review. We will continue with career exploration in Commercial Photography. Start thinking about the companies we researched in the first semester, where we talked about their marketing strategies, mission statements, and what they did with their profits. Even though we are experiencing a hiccup in the economy, do not get discouraged about your future career in Commercial Photography! You are your best advertising agency!
Read the directions for assignments in Moodle first,
and email me with any questions you have.
If you are having difficulty logging in to Moodle, please let me know right away.

As of this week, Virginia schools are closed for the remainder of the school year. We still have more students getting online to access their assignments. If you or someone you know needs Internet service, please contact us - we have some interesting info!
New assignments were posted today. Read articles carefully and submit all work in Moodle. I am still waiting to hear from several students about whether or not they have access to a digital camera, but most of us have a camera built in to our laptops, so don't hesitate to try it out for your assignments.
If you have need a PASS laptop or have technology questions or issues, come to the regular bus stops or to the auditorium at William Fleming High School from 12-1 pm.
We have several competencies to finish, and new assignments will be ready after our normally-scheduled spring break. Stay well and keep in touch!
